His details

Better is being with someone who, while equally as imperfect, brings out your best.

In his own words

Hi. I'm Mark. I don't have a specific set of characteristics I expect of you, as I don't believe humans are that simple - chemistry, compatibility, and commitment aren't that black and white. However, I do have a handful of "must not have"s, and I've found these are fairly firm with respect to my values and personality So, if you are free of these (or working on ridding yourself of them - hint - they may be why you're without a great guy...), rock n' roll!
- obsession with appearance / vanity
- unwillingness to compromise, i.e. feeling as if you're 'settling' if you don't get what you want
- without ambition
- usually apathetic
- denial / lack of interest in independent thinking / resistance to discussing problems
- reckless spending and fantasia-ish expectations
- giving gifts based on what you want ("I like this for you" vs. "I got you what you wanted")
- rudeness (including your friends)
I am building my life. I have much work to do to hit my goals. Thus far life has lead me to graduate with a medical engineering degree, log much, much success as a music production business owner, excel as a financial professional, and work as a real estate investor. I personally attribute the wisdom and emotional maturity to the bouts of toxic uncertainty along the way, and I have maintained an unwavering commitment to my personal values. I have some really cool stories, and I'll push you beyond where anyone has ever taken you before. Promise.
What you can expect:
- boundless energy and creative spirit
- ongoing sarcasm, frequent comedic time (either live stand-up or Netflix etc.)
- complete disregard for conventional thinking
- prioritizing investment over materialistic expenses
- excessive visits to great restaurants
- a passionate relationship with hip hop
- dedicated time to being alone
- strong charitable involvement, more specifically with concussion research and my Alma Mater
- exercise, exercise, and more weight training
- 100% commitment to Chicago Bears games (yes, I'm "one of those")
- occasional cigar and scotch
- cooking to Led Zeppelin (and driving to and walking to)
All I ask is you be patient - I don't understand alot about society right now, so forgive me if I promptly return a call or text, do not rush, drive slow with the sunroof open, speak my mind, maintain eye contact, laugh loud, speak slow, reciprocate, surprise, pay attention, and consider your wants and needs before making a decision. You'll see hints of the various cultures responsible for my personality as we wind down the road less traveled. ;-)
If you believe you "have it all figured out" and expect the same from a young man, while I'm not your guy, I am able to offer a few suggestions that may help you understand why you have not found your imaginary companion.
Let's be adults here - a handful of jpegs and checked boxes can't possibly be a healthy way to conclude it couldn't work...
Shall we

For fun

I enjoy playing the guitar, both acoustic and electric. Laughing! Exercising. Huge fan of going out to dinner. I listen to all types of jazz. I read too much, but love gaining knowledge. Movies are refreshing. Fitting a new suit is #1!!
